+The Scarab in Halo Wars seems to resemble more closely the [[Halo 3]] variant, rather than the Halo 2 model. It also seems to be much smaller than previously encountered Scarabs in Halo 2 and Halo 3 (probably because of engine limitations).
-In Halo Wars, the Scarab seemed to be a combination of the ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' Scarab designs, featuring an encased, [[Covenant]] purple chassis with a single spine mounted plasma cannon. The flaps on its [[Assault Cannon]], while bearing a similarity to those of the Halo 3 Scarab and also resembling a beak of a bird, operated like the flaps of the ''Halo 2'' [[Scarab gun]]. They concealed the weapon until it folded out into 8 separate pieces and seemed to shoot a sustained stream of plasma fire. The cannon was described in the demonstration as "An anti-everything gun".
-In the most recent iterations of [[Halo Wars]], however, the Scarab seems to resemble more closely the [[Halo 3]] variant, rather than the Halo 2 model, however, this could just be an upgrade or a future technological advancement. It also seems to be much smaller than previous Scarabs (probably because of engine limitations) .
 A recent article in ''Xbox Magazine'' comments that an attacking Scarab "ripped (a UNSC base) a new one." It has been confirmed to be very slow and expensive to build (3000 resources in Skirmish), with no upgrade available due to their cost to be made on such a big war machine.<ref>http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Citadel.aspx#Scarab</ref>
